SOME people can never tell o joke
without spelling it. Several months
ago, some humble scribe started ON its
rounds the "catch" that thirteen two.
cent postage stamps could be bought
for cent and quarter. As it re.
quired several seconds for the average
intellect to absorb the idea that one
cent and a "quarter" made 26 cents
the item had an immense run. Itnow
reappears in the Tacoma News, in this
shape:
"By last nights NAL. Postmaster Samp.
son received Instructions from the Post
Office Department 1T Washington. ID. c.,
rate offs for one and one-quarter cents
EACH"
Doubtless the perpetrator of that re-
vamped joke belongs to the class oil
people represented by a certain learned
judge, who, while possessing q keen
appreciation of wit and rare ability az
a lawyer, was singularly deficient in
talent for narration. The point of O
joke was invariably turned or lost in
passing through his mental hopper
To illustrate: Somebody propounded
conundrum which greatly pleased
the judge. The query was: When
does q woman resemble o vehicle?'
The answer: "When she is little
sulky." This the judge slowed away
in the storehouse of memory, to use
on some fitting occasion. Unfortu
nately, however, when the time came
and he had placed the query before 9
fair widow for solution, he had quite
forgotten the answer, and while tax
ing his memory was of course exceed
ingly embarrassed that the answer haG
escaped him. "Let me see-let mt
see" murmured the Judge meditative
ly. ooh, I have it; it is when she is
little buggyW As the News scribe
is in such eminently respectable com
pany, he has no cause to repine. Wi
is, after all, but the chaff that rises al
the flutter of the fan.

MIDNIGHT ROBBERY.

William Fischer keeps the Fischer
beer hall on Main Street, near the
Broom Hotel. He is a quiet, inoffen-
sive young man, not very ipugnacious
by nature, but Withal a very pleasant
fellow among the boys. Late Saturday
night Mr.. Fischer stepped at the back
door of his saloon. The deep shade Of
the building together with the fact that
he had lust emerged from the brilliant
glare of the electric light prevented his
seeing q couple of figures that stood
Just outside the door. Another sense,
however, soon told him that he was
not alone, for no sooner had the door
closed behind him than heavy some =
thing enveloped his head and efectually
choked off his utterance while couple
of individuals proceeded to divest him
of what valuables he had in his possess
sion. In his pockets was SIS in
cash. This was calmly appropriated
BY his unknown intervieWers, as was also
a bunch of keys, watch and valuable
chain. The assailants then released
their victim and made off. A search
resulted in finding the watch and keys
on the ground not far distant, but the
and chain were gone with the
assailants.
Mr.. Fischer could tell nothing that
would furnish the slightest clue to the
of the deed, as one of the
police remarked, not knowing whether
they were male or female.
The police were notified OF the affair
but have found no clue with which to
follow up the robbers.

A Fatal Bun.

Shortly after noon yesterday Robert
Burns rode up to the edge OF the street
and dismounting hitehed his saddle
horse to the spring seat of a farmers
wagon and left the animal standing.
But short time elapsed before the
horse jerked back, throwing the seat
from the wagon and landing Indirectly
upon the heels of one of the horses be-
longing to E. Stratford & Sons
furniture wagon. A spring, a scream,
and the team dashed around the
corner and down Fourth Street. When
nearing Greenwell's butcher shop, they
ran nearer to the sidewalk and the
nigh horse stepped into the gutter and
fell with his head against block that
stands near the street. The animal
never moved after falling. a slight
culver and the limbs stiffened-tbe
horse was dead. When the spring seat
struck the horse, the driver was in the
act of hitching tug and had no chance
to stop the runaway. Though the
street was crowded with people, no one
was hurt. The dead horse was i'm
mediately carted off. No blame can be
attached to any one except the man
who hitched his horse to the frail spring
seat. The dead horse was valued at
500.
